Brilio.net - The face is a part of the body that is susceptible to various skin problems. Some of the most common facial skin problems experienced by most people are acne, blackheads, dullness and black spots. Black spots are a condition that is quite disturbing and makes the face look less smooth and dull.
This condition is characterized by the appearance of black or brownish spots on several parts of the face. Many factors cause the appearance of black spots. Such as excessive sun exposure, the aging process, cosmetics, genetics, and pollution. The more often the face is exposed to sunlight without protection such as using sunscreen and hats, the greater the risk of black spots appearing.
Therefore, it is important to maintain healthy skin by using sunscreen before doing outdoor activities. If you don't use sunscreen, your skin will naturally produce excess melanin. This is the skin's attempt to prevent the bad effects of sunlight.
Melanin triggers the appearance of black spots or spots on the surface of the skin. This condition is also often called hyperpigmentation. If you continue to leave it, more and more black spots will appear on other parts of the face. Even the appearance of the face also looks less attractive, because it looks like it has an uneven color.
If you are one of the people experiencing this problem, there is no need to worry, because you can overcome it in various ways. Such as undergoing treatment at a beauty clinic , using retinol serum, and using natural ingredients. Facial serum containing retinol is effective for fading black spots on the face. But unfortunately, not everyone is suitable for using this active ingredient. Not a few actually experience breakouts after using it.
Another solution, you can use natural ingredients. So, you can listen to the trick shared by a TikTok user with the account name @diy_bodycare, which only uses 2 kitchen ingredients. The kitchen ingredients in question are potatoes and turmeric powder.

Potato content to fade black spots on the face.Potatoes are often found in various types of dishes. However, this type of tuber is also widely used for facial skin care, you know. The reason is, this natural ingredient contains catecholase enzymes which can brighten the skin and disguise black spots or spots caused by exposure to sunlight.
Not only that, potatoes also contain vitamin C, vitamin B6, zinc, potassium and phosphorus which function to increase collagen production in the skin. Regular use will make your face free from acne scars and more hydrated. Apart from that, potatoes are also effective in fading hyperpigmentation on the skin with their azelaic acid content.
The benefits of turmeric for evening facial skin tone.
Turmeric is a spice that is rich in antioxidants, so it is not only beneficial for health, but also for maintaining the beauty of facial skin. Some of the benefits are that it can brighten the face and fade uneven skin color due to black spots.
As reported by Healthline, the benefits of turmeric for beauty are possibly due to the bioactive component curcumin contained in it. Curcumin has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, so it can ward off free radicals that cause black spots that are difficult to remove.
Just by relying on these two kitchen ingredients, you can make a face mask which is believed to be able to even out skin tone by fading black spots. Regular use will also make your face evenly bright and naturally glowing. This is how to make and use it, as reported by briliobeauty.net from the TikTok account @diy_bodycare, Tuesday (7/5).
